Five-Year Journal, Year One

One year ago today, I started a 5-year journal. I get 6 lines to write a short summary of my day. This was my first entry:

"For the first time, the future looks back at me, as vast and open as the endlessness of space, and as one vision of how to fill the space ends, I must create a new vision of how I will fill it back in. This is very scary."

Though I haven't had the best autumn so far this year, I am happy to say that my future is not so scary as it was on November 3, 2008. Now every night when I open the journal to set down my day, I will also get to read about what happened last year.

This, my friends, is my secret for remembering everything.
